I had the best experience at Cal Oaks Vision center . They preformed a bunch of tests on my eyes. . Everyone was so personable and nice. Dr. Tadros was very knowledgeable and has a great personality. I was fitted with progressive contacts. I love how I can see now without glasses. If you are searching for a new eye Dr. come here….. Best decision I ever made.Susan Simpson
I can’t say enough about the stellar care that I received from every member of the care team from Reception staff to Clinical staff to Physician to Optical staff. I felt extremely safe with the processes in place for sanitation protecting both patients and staff. I am impressed with the technological equipment used. Then, the provider himself, Dr Poole is fantastic! He actually took the time with me that I felt was appropriate, he listened intently, was detailed when showing me the test results from the equipment used, and answered all of my questions comprehensively. I am also disabled requiring additional accommodations and I was treated with the utmost care and never felt that I was an imposition. If you’re looking for comprehensive, compassionate care, you’ve found the right provider.
I dont know why people dont go onto other sites that really tell you how bad this place is. ITS BAD! They messed up my eye and wouldnt take responsibility. They need better staff. Optometrists are fine but their staff need more training so that when I tell them I cant see, they dont just send me home telling me I need time to adjust.
All the staff in the office were very helpful. And, they were ready for me right at my appointment time. Dr. Elton was amazing and did a very thorough examination using multiple scans prior to determining my general vision and prescription. You can tell she truly cares about the health of her patients and the early detection of eye disease.When it came time to pick my frames, there were so many quality frames to choose from. Overall, the whole experience was very pleasant and ran like a well oiled machine. I highly recommend this office!
We had a great experience at Cal Oaks Vision Center. My son and I were able to be in the same exam room, and Dr. Poole is so kind and thorough. The optometrist that helped me select my frames went above and beyond to find me just the right pair. She spent quite some time with me until we were both happy.
Im very sorry for posting this so late however, Im leased to say that when I took my daughter here about a year and a half ago she needed new glasses and just by walking inside the place it was superbly fantastic. Ive never seen a glasses store in my life upon first glance. But thats not why Im writing this, what really matters is the customer service that she received there and they treated her like royalty there and on top of that my mom even got a pair of glasses there! Im definitely taking her back to get check ups, new frames, etc, and even for me Ill set up an appointment to get glasses for myself (soon in the future). Great job yall!!!!
Very nice and professional, Dr and staff very helpful and caring for the pt’s 🙏❤️🙏
I have been going to the eye doctors for over 30 years ever since I was 13. Although I loved all my different eye doctors I’ve never had such a thorough visit as I did here. It was informative, comprehensive and I learned a lot about my eyes and how to take care of them. I also like the way that they do their customer service and take care of you here.
I love coming here for my eye appointments and glasses! Everyone is so kind and professional. I have been coming here for 3 years now and I would recommend it to anyone.
We really like Cal Oaks Vision Ctr! Dr. Katie Elton is very personable and the staff is very friendly.Id recommend this company to anyone.
Great place for exams and eye wear. Very professional office, everyone is very helpful and friendly. I saw Dr. Tadros and he rocks! He was very informative, answered any questions I had, took his time with me. I feel like I finally found my eye care place for many years to come....
Hi-FIVE 🌟 ⭐ 🌟 ⭐ 🌟 I Highly recommend CALIFORNIA OAKS VISION CENTER of OPTOMETRY in Murrieta!!! 🤩 👍My kids and I just had our first dental visit from 1:30p - 3pm today, and it was a smooth and an amazing experience for all of us, because, all the staff were very kind, accommodating and wonderful. The place is equipped with knowledgeable staffs who got us all in-and-out smoothly for the appointment without waiting long.And we love our new optometrist, Dr. Katie Elton, becuase, shes very professional & knowledgeable who really knows and cares about her job. She was able to answer & explain in details every question my kids asked about our eye visit. She was very accommodating, and warm, too... and her voice is sweet, and motherly. 😍 👌
Dr. Elton was great. Everyone was pleasant, professional, thorough and helpful. I loved how they called before hand and took down all of my medical information over the phone for my file. When I arrived they were ready for the eye exam it self.Thank you Oaks Vision Center.
Simply amazing and friendly staff - SO good with my kids. My daughter was nervous and they gave her a stuffed dog named Max that wears glasses to hold onto during her apt. From front desk staff to the women that performed the eye screenings to Dr. Elton, 5 stars for all!
Very informative and friendly doctors and staff. By far one of the best appointments I have made. Weird right? Having fun at a doctors appointment? Awesomely educational and warm environment. The people working with me showed me all the crazy graphs and photos of my eyeballs (astounding) and they explained everything to me in terms I could understand. I work with motorcycles so the doc explained to me what I was looking at in mechanical terms. Definitely made my day. It’s a practice like this that makes me want to throw my money at them. Even if I have insurance. Thank you everyone at cal oaks vision center. That was a blast. Can’t wait to get my new spectacles!—- Corey B.
From the minute I stepped into California Oaks Vision Center...I felt welcome. The customer service is above reproach. The staff was very helpful and very polite. I was guided every step of my eye exam and was keep very much informed on each eye exam done. Doctor Poole was grate and very professional. Gloria assisted me selecting my new glasses. Gloria was very helpful. Her care and professionalism and superior customer service is above and beyond reproach. Thank you all at Cal Oaks Vision.
We had the best experience! We were treated so nicely when we arrived. Our wait time was about ten minutes they were busy but communicated to us about what was going on. The technicians were all so kind and helpful with my 5year old son making sure he felt safe and Unafraid ( it was his first eye exam) the dr was also very nice and quick to finishWe got to choose the frames with ease and were out the door with smiles. We will definitely be back for the rest of our eye exams.
I have been coming here for many years...it doesnt matter which Doctor I see (though Dr. Tadros is my favorite) or which staff member I interact with, they are all consistent and provide great, friendly service!!
The doctors and staff are great. I’ve never had a problem with them and only great service. They are however quite expensive with extra out of pocket costs and this is with insurance. Maybe I have bad insurance but even a cash patient would see $$$$. I cannot afford them any longer.
Totally comfortable experience. From the time I entered until my departure. The place was spotless and social distancing was enacted. Employees at each station were friendly and professional. Dr. Poole took the time to explain my results in layman’s terms. He offered his opinion on what his concerns were after I inquired. When I reached the station where I’d pick frames, I was astonished at the choices. To cap this experience off, softly in the background Elton John’s “Tiny Dancer” as well as “Bennie and the Jets” eased any anxiety Needless to say, it was a refreshing afternoon. Kudos!
Everyone was very nice and polite. Now of course it is germ free🙂. For I worked with to day was Sylvia and Harley. I forgot the doctors name but she was very sweet and so was Michelle. They made me feel very comfortable. They explained everything to me and they even let my husband set in they room with me while they put drops into my eyes. I wish them all the best.
They gave me the most thorough exam Ive ever had. The staff and doctor were so warm and welcoming.
One of the best eye exams I have ever experienced. Very thorough. Dr. Katie Elton was INCREDIBLE.
Dr.s Lewis and Tadros and the entire team/staff are professional, personable and make the experience great. I have been going to Cal Oaks Vision Center for about 12 years and they are truly concerned with my eye health and eyesight. If you want quality eyecare, this is the place.
This optometry has always treated me well in the past with eye exams, contacts, and adjustments. Today I just wanted to commend both Jenifer and Christy for their help with my broken glasses situation. Very refreshing to see such great service; guys are appreciated :)
Awesome staff, very timely and kind. Dr. Poole is really nice and helpful Ive had a bad eye problem for a while and while other doctors guessed and just sent me on my way I finally found a doctor willing to help so thank you guys very much
I have never had a better experience at an eye doctor appointment!! The staff is outstanding and so is their detail tests to ensure your eyes are at their optimum health!! I am very grateful I am a patient who has the best care so could ask for!!!
I am very happy with your facility. Nurses and Doctors were par excellent. What a good experience.
Today was my first time at California Oaks Vision Center in Murrieta. It was a very wonderful appointment, Ampha was absolutely Top Notch, and efficient. I saw Dr. Poole and he was also Very efficient, explaining everything so perfectly. Then I had Jennifer (Jen) help me in picking out the right glasses, she did a great job. My entire visit was so pleasant. Everyone was Fantastic!!!! Thank you All
I am very pleased with both doctors and their staff at the California Oaks Vision Center. They patiently and expertly fitted me with bifocal contact lenses. I also obtained a stylish pair of glasses on sale. I came to this office from my previous optometrist of more than 15 years who retired about 2 years ago.Thank you to the staff as well. They were professional, courteous and cordial. It has been a pleasure to find a new optometrist office in my new community.
Really nice people. Doctor Lewis answered all my questions and asked several times if I had any other questions or concerns. He explained all the pictures of my eyes and I never felt rushed.
Super visit! They have ALL of the latest equipment necessary to give you a very thorough exam. Results are immediate and well explained. The staff takes all the uncertainty away. The doctors exam was also very efficient, thorough and effective. If you want not only top notch exams but also top notch staff Cal Oaks Vision is the place.Of course they also practice extreme covid precautions. 5 stars all the way!
This was the first time at this office. I had a great experience. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. All my concerns and questions were addressed. Very professional but at the same time they made me feel like I’ve been a patient for years.
Dr. Lewis took the time to teach my teenagers so much about their eyes during this last visit, but Shayna is the reason we have been coming back for the last decade. She is the essence of efficiency and professionalism. I cant imagine how we would have navigated through the years without her. No matter which optometrist we see when we visit, she always makes it feel like home.
Great experience, doctor was friendly, optometrist was patient and helpful :)
This was the best optometrist experience of my life! I over heard the guy saying they have 1,400 pair of glasses to choose from?! They must of had state of art technology because I was impressed. I suggest this place to everyone.
Great service; wonderful doctors; caring, involved staff; state of the art equipment. Best contacts and glasses Ive ever been prescribed. Superb personal service and continuing care. Well worth the cost.
I really like this office. The office staff and technicians are all very nice and helpful and knowledgeable. Im happy with all the Optometrists that we have seen. I feel like they have top of the line equipment there to help give you the most information about your eyes. Highly recommend.
First visit for my son and I and it was an absolute pleasant experience from beginning to end. Literally, from walking in the door and being greeted with a smile, to the assistants, to meeting Dr. Tadros, to ordering our frames... everyone was very personable, friendly, knowledgeable, communicative and patient! Definitely sharing this Vision Center with friends and family and remaining a customer!
I highly recommend California Oaks Vision Center in Murrieta. I had my routine eye exam done and could not be happier with the friendly and professional service! The moment I entered the facility, I was greeted quickly (with a friendly voice since masks are mandatory at this time with COVID 19) and every staff member was profession, pleasant and efficient. Dr. Tadros took his time explaining the eye exam, results of my scans and taught me knowledgeable information on my personalized eye care. I never felt rushed and have to say this is the best experience I’ve ever had with an eye exam optometry visit! I will be referring my husband to California Oaks Vision Center as well. The facility is immaculate, and the precautions are in place for COVID 19 business and workplace guidelines.
My 11 month old twin daughters had their 1st eye check up. Everyone was very friendly and Doctor Katie was nice and helpful. She explained everything well and answered all of our questions. We will be having my daughters come here once a year just to get checked!
I’ve experienced the best eye exam ever. The staff is excellent and they make you feel safe. They constantly are disinfecting and have you wash your hands. The doctors are very through with you. The best office staff ever.
Amazing experience! Very kind, knowledgeable staff. A professional and clean environment. I learned a lot about my eyes in an understandable way. Thank you Jennifer, Michelle, Shayla, and Dr Tadros!
I not only think this place needs a new facility where all tests, equipment, etc. are in one space and not down the hall and in several separate rooms, they need a new computer system. Every time...and I mean every time I deal with this place, I cant seem to get a simple itemized breakdown of tests, costs, etc. and I always get the same answer weve had problems with our computer system or its down right now prints slow. Plus I always have to follow up to inquire about when my new glasses are ready for pickup. Not only that, it seems to take forever to get my new glasses that I paid for weeks ago. It was nearly six weeks this time and I had to follow-up, again. I was told the same answer too that were experiencing problems with our system. No text of my breakdown, no text of order ready...Its time for me to move on to a new optometrist that has good customer service and an organized facility. I have never had to wait six weeks for glasses, let alone never receive an itemized breakdown of my order. It makes a person wonder about the credibility of this place.
Staff is great, Dr Lewis is beyond great!He explains everything and spends as much time with you as needed.I highly recommend!
We just moved to California from Indiana and part of that comes with finding new Healthcare providers. I loved my care team back home and was worried I wouldnt find the same quality of care when moving to a much larger city. Well, I shouldnt have been concerned! I found a team environment that rocks their service. Everyone was friendly and provide a quick and very efficient service. I am excited to work with them now and in the future.
Went in to order some glasses, and received great service. Jax was knowledgeable, and was very helpful in making my choice on new glasses. I would recommend Cal Oaks optometry.
Awesome place good people, they do a grate job work with you, but trying to get contacts is hard when they dont have what you need in stock. Ive been there 3 times and still have to order contacts. I hate wasting time.
Good service and thorough exams. Some of the comments and recommendations during the exam always seem to point towards buying new glasses. The exit from the exam rooms lead right into the eyeglass fitting area...Understand what you really need versus what will be offered to you. Ask questions and be informed. When you do need new glasses, the fitting process and end result is very good. Overall, happy with the service.
Been going to Cal Oaks Vision for many years and their care and attention to detail is amazing. Great doctors and staff. They have always helped me to get the best offers on my glasses too.
Dr. Tadros is very knowledgeable and friendly; he reviewed all aspects of my eye health and made recommendations on diet and exercise and how it has a direct benefit. All of the other staff were great and all of f the tests, retinal scan included, were conducted promptly with results immediately available. Getting the final tally was a bit if a shocker, but Jennifer worked through the pricing and found the best deals possible.I would definitely recommend these folks, but be prepared for a bit of sticker shock - although not too bad, all things considered. For the exemplary service, attention to detail and prompt appointment time, its well worth it.
Dr. Tadros gave me the best eye exam I have ever had. I absolutely will recommend him to all my friends and family!
Everyone was very friendly and professional. Highly recommend.
Excellent service by all members of the staff. Friendly and happy people are always nice to deal with and everyone seemed happy to be there. Great experience and look forward to coming back when I have eye needs.
Everything at this office is high tech and extremely clean. I was able to try on glasses and they even fixed my old ones. I was worried about touching things in the office due to COVID-19 but they wiped everything I touched down many times during my visit. I was even able to wash my hands before my visit. I was impressed with all the staff and Dr. Tadros! They all made sure to ask and answer all of my questions and provided me with discount information when it came time to ordering my glasses.
They took their time and addressed issues that I have had for years. I have not been to another eye doctor that has ever provided me so much useful information that has positively impacted my eye health.Additionally, I felt very safe going there after covid. Their policies and procedures regarding cleanliness were very clear and followed by. all. their staff and patients. I highly recommend!
We have been using California Oaks Vision Center for many years. We have always been totally satisfied with their services. Dr Lewis is great, very patient and thoroughly explains everything. He welcomes patient questions and has always answered them in a manner we can understand. We highly recommend them for your vision needs.
Great service! Very clean and very knowledgeable and friendly staff.
My experience at Cal Oaks Vision is always exceptional. I have been a patient for several years. They always go above and beyond to make the patient feel welcomed and satisfied with their service. From the appointment clerks on the phone to the doctors, everyone there is so nice and accommodating. It is evident that customer service excellence is a priority there.
Love coming to this place. Very professional and nice group of individuals that work here. Very welcoming and very clean.
This was a last minute scheduling of an eye exam and it was an awesome experience. The system of how they receive and process patients is outstanding. Dr. Lewis knows his tradecraft and does an excellent and orderly way to present information to patients. I was given information from the past with an emphasis of new information that I was not aware about my eyes. This was a good experience and staff was very friendly and again orderly in their process. I was delighted.
Very professional with extremely strong covid safety and sanitary standards in place. Brought my elderly father there for an eye exam and to order glasses. Very friendly, courteous and knowledgeable staff. Dr. Alex Tadros was so patient and professionally knowledgeable. Treated my 91 year old dad with the greatest respect and care.
Excellent service, very professional staff, I will recommend this place 👍👍
I first had my first appointment there 4 years ago and was so impressed with the thoroughness of the exam that I insisted my wife, daughter, and granddaughters start using them for their eye exams. Dr. Tadros explains all of the findings and takes time to answer all of your questions.All of the employees are knowledgable and everyone seems to really care about your eye health.
Jennifer was very polite, patient with me. helped me choose the right eyeglasses frame that fits me well. Thank you for her excellent service.
I always have an awesome experience when I go. From checking in up front, to the exams, to speaking with the doctors, and at check out. Everybody is always nice and super helpful.
The lady that was helping us had no idea what she was doing. She almost let me go without letting us buy our contacts. I just hope I was charged correctly. I walked out paying $511 😩
The office staff was very polite, great friendly environment, you could easily see that every one enjoyed their job and the atmosphere was lite.Dr Alex Tadros, explained every aspect of the test performed, he encouraged me to ask questions and I was not rushed. All and all I highly recommend this office Dr. and staff.
Made appointment online, went to the office and was told they do not have my name for the day. Please read other reviews and go somewhere else.
My first visit, everyone was nice and professional. My sister and I felt well taken care of. Our former Optometrist retired so we had to make a change, were happy with our choice.
California Oaks Vision Center. Has long been my eye exam preference for over 12 years and counting. Dr. Lewis and his staff are qualified and professional. One doctor, Dr. Alex Tadros is exceptional. Dr. Tadros takes the time to answer all of your questions and concerns.
The nicest people every! Great knowledge from the Doctor !
The staff was great and the doctor was very patient and informative. The tests were explained to me in detail prior to them being performed. They made sure to wipe everything down in front of me, which I appreciate! Great experience!
The staffs were friendly. There services were outstanding. Great location with brand name glasses.
Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Facility is super clean and upscale with a ton of frame options which is really important to me.The optometrists are so nice, professional and knowledgeable and they take their time with you. You really feel taken care of.
We love Dr. Elton! She is so great with the kids. She is very thorough.
After fifteen years this place has lost my business. The office manager Shayna is very unprofessional and has the audacity to tell me she has worked there for ten years and knows exactly who I am and began to debate my concern. This place has become sub par and the customer service is sickening. Also if the business is so concerned about covid that theyre demanding 49 dollars for a retna scan when this can typically be waived, then maybe you shouldnt be open. I will definitely bring my business elsewhere. Great way to treat a healthcare worker!
The staff is so friendly, professional, and caring from those at the front desk to the doctors! In the midst of this COVID crisis, professional precautions were in place but with care and taking care of the entire patient holistically. When they found out I was a veteran, I had 4 staff members in different occasions thank me for my service. They used the questionnaire to engage me in meaningful conversation about my family and profession throughout the entire visit. Even though the main goal was my eyes, which they checked and reviewed thoroughly, it was such a breath of fresh air to be among so many kind and well-mannered people. Thank you so much California Oaks Vision!
This is the best ophthalmologist that I have ever been to in my entire life! I rarely, if ever, do this reviews but the entire team here is amazing! Very helpful and the Doctor essentially gave me the best eye exam with thorough explanations on the health of my eyes. The Doctor and staff were very caring and extremely attentive to all of my questions. This is simply the best eye center in Temecula/Murrieta Valley!
Always a pleasure to visit Cal Oaks Vision Ctr. During these times of difficulty concerning protection from the virus affecting the world, it was nice to see a professional attitude and concern for every person that not olny works at this facility but also the patrons that enter therein. Would always recommend this establishment to anyone looking for an Optometry professional. Dr. Lewis is the best.
Extremely safe following beyond protocol with Covid precautions. Staff efficient, friendly and comforting for your safety
Dr. Elton provides a very comprehensive exam. She is so kind and caring. The office staff is amazing. I have taken all 3 of my kids and referred many more.
Wonderful way to sharpen visual skills! It’s fun and the energetic and helpful staff do a great job to make your child feel good about themselves and what they are accomplishing! Both my children are more capable thanks to your efforts to deliver quality vision therapy. Thank you!!!
These place has no idea of what they say when it comes to medical insurance information! They try to make you pay for something thats covered by your insurance!
First time going to this location since I just moved to Murrieta..I was well please of how I was giving so much knowledge on my eyes . They have a large selection of frames..I didnt get to look at the frames being that I had another appoint but I do plan on going back. The staff was great made me feel welcomed.
Everyone there was so professional and friendly. The office was very clean and they had a pretty nice selection of lenses. It’s nice to have just an overall positive experience.
The very best eye care that you can find. You won’t be disappointed. Professional, state of the art, and genuine in their approach to your eye health.
My daughter had an appointment, and she said that everyone was great and very helpful. They even honor me a price for my daughters contact at a great price. I was very thankful for that. Because With all the Covid going on, every penny I can save helps my family. So thank you so much.
Fantastic experience. Insurance covered a lot of costs.
I have been going to California Oaks Vision Center for many years and they have always taken very good care of me. Their employees are friendly, professional, patient and know their business. I have some unique eye problems and they have done a very good job of working around them andproviding me with good, helpful glasses.
They have students do the scan and did convey the scan was not covered by insurance. I have a company voucher for safety glasses, they want to charge me extra, even I only choose what is covered in the voucher. This place only wants youre money, bad service. Person who assisted me in choosing glasses in optical department did bad customer service. Tried to charge me $150 right away before I pick my glasses.. I will never go back to this clinic and will not recommend to anybody, they only wants youre money, due to Covid they might be loosing money and want to pass that to their customer. I have a family of 7, I was going to transfer everybody in this clinic but changed mind after this experience.
My family has been a patient of Dr Lewis’ office for years. He’s fantastic as is his staff. However, I am disappointed to find that during COVID and the suggestions to wear a mask, Dr Lewis’ office will not allow anyone in his office without a mask, even if the patient is exempt from the EO signed by Governor Newsom. I am that patient, exempt from wearing a mask. It’s not by choice. We are moving out of state and wanted to have one last follow up visit and to say goodbye. But unfortunately, being discriminated against, that’s not happening and he’s lost 4 patients. Such a shame.
Waited 30 mins before called in was in the office for 1:45 mins . Lots of waiting.
I have been going to California Oaks Vision for a few years. The doctors and the front office workers are most cordial and professional all the time. If you have a question, do not hesitate to ask. A clean and safe office area is provided. I give them a 5-star rating without any hesitation.
Dr. Tadros is wonderful! He is very kind and informative.
My mom and I have received excellent care during our visits to California Oaks. The expertise and attention to detail inherent in the staff and the doctors Is evident. The technology implemented is first rate. Thank you for such a complete service.Cathy Evans
This is the second year in a row that Ive had a negative experience. Last year it was lecturing because I have macular degenerative in my family and they tried pressuring me into buying their very expensive vitamins. Then the doctor as much as told me I was lying when I told him the blue filter coating on my computer glasses was not the real thing on my Costco glasses. Then today they said they would have to go through my medical insurance because I said my eye had been watering and burning. I think its either allergies or I need a new prescription. I told them my eye was good today. Nope, had to go through my medical insurance. Well of course that would have cost more because of a co-pay and a deductible. So I said bye and that it was time for a new eye doctor. What a waste of time. They sure arent the same as they were a few years ago.
Staff was friendly and helpful. Very pleasant experience.
Great service l! Dr very thorough
The entire staff is very welcoming, the lobby is comfortable, the technology is top notch, and the doctors are extremely knowledgeable.
